Summary: How do you get close enough to a Comte to assassinate him? Zevran has a plan - and in true Zevran fashion, it employs a distinct absence of clothing. (ff.net & Ao3)
Notes: Post-game. This chapter in particular has a lot of Orlesian. All of the Orlesian lines have a linked footnote, or you can choose to read it as is - Zevran certainly doesn't understand what's being said, after all. :)

The title translates to, literally, cut the pear in two - an idiom for compromise, or meeting halfway. All the "Orlesian" in the fic is being translated by Adrienne and IrishLassie. All the "Antivan" is courtesy of [personal profile] smaragdina.

Thank you so much, as always, to [personal profile] smaragdina for being my beta! ♥

Tout Doucement is an awesome song. I love Fiest's version best, as that's the first time I heard it. I just adore the image of Cauthrien stripping for Zev to that.
